The Colony is a reality television show. Season 2 was filmed in an area previously devastated by a hurricane, at and around 300-498 Southern Pl, Chalmette, Louisiana‎, and followed ten cast members in an environment that simulated life after a global catastrophe.[1]

During the production of the season, experts from homeland security, engineering, psychology, and medicine were consulted to help create a realistic story line involving survivors of the "nuclear flu", a fictional mutation of the Avian flu.[2] Dr. Ramesh Nathan was the infectious disease expert for the show.
